@jag1203 It is difficult to maintain a balanced perspective walking through concerning troubleshooting/treatment processes and you are doing such a great job. Kudos!

If I understand correctly you are concerned because you expected treatment your husbands doctor recommended to have the opposite effect that it has, to decrease or possibly eliminate clots of blood from his nose. It is difficult to know if this is a problem or part of the process.

I wish I could solve your problem. I can tell you I used a saline nasal rinse for a time. That was replaced by Flonase (Fluticasone steroid nose spray) and I was told it would take a good 6 weeks for it to kick in. Then, instead of an antihistamine pill like Cetirizine I added antihistamine eye drops. I was concerned when I started having blood in my nose and eventually, clots like you describe. What I could tell was that the bleeding would fluctuate depending on what was going on elsewhere in my body. I don’t necessarily understand it but I have kept working with my doctor(s) and am doing much better.

I pulled up an overview about nosebleeds that you may want to take a look at if you haven’t already. It may help to review common causes to help you know if your husbands doctor is on a diagnostic/treatment path you are comfortable with. Also, clicking through to the next page there is a section about talking to your doctor. Specifically, “Talk to your doctor if you're having frequent nosebleeds, even if you can stop them fairly easily. It's important to determine the cause of frequent nosebleeds.”

Is there anything your husband has tried that helps his nosebleeds? Do you think you will visit with his doctor to discuss the increased bleeding that is happening since starting the prescribed treatment?
